About this copy:

The cardboard sleeve is in great condition, a few light handling marks (it is white!) and a bit of foxing and a slight sticker removal mark, minimal wear and looks great - please view all photos

The original 3 corner cut card inner with lyrics is great -hardly any wear, no splits, some light stains/marks

The vinyl: Labels are great! hardly any signs of use and handling

There are a few light marks /hairlines on the vinyl, nothing feelable or that stands out - see the photos and you can see it is in fabulous condition...

It plays really well. There is light crackle and interference occasionally , runnins / outs… the loud and proud bits still sound awesome! A fantastic listen..

A really great copy all round!

More vinyl listed please take a look , will combine p&p for UK posting
